I have 4 Dell Poweredge 1650s. They are all running RedHat 8 with kernel 2.4.18 (yes I know. Its old but upgrading might require a recompile of my firms processes and retesting them. Thats pretty tough to do all in one shot for us.)
Two of these machines are running PowerVault 220Ss in a hardware managed RAID arrays through PERC 3 cards.
One of these PowerVaults hard disk arrays is serving as the users /home directories and a /data directory as well and I have the proper export entries in /etc/exports for /data and /home
These 2 directories are actually on /usr2/home and /usr2/data on that server.
The other 3 servers can mount /home and /data just fine and they all have: timeo=14,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr as thier mount options for those 2 directories.
This morning I came in and shells on all of the 3 servers that are mounting to /home and /data would lockup hard if I accessed /home or /data
I did a fuser -m /home and a fuser -m /data and both had quite a large list of processes.
I had to restart the server running the /home and /data directories and it hung up shutting down the nfs services. So I gritted my teeth and hard cycled the power. Fortunately everything came back up.
But I cant continue to have NFS lockups like this.
Ive done alot of googling and other searches and Ive read lots of documents but I can not seem to find anything to point me to the root of this problem.
Any help or pointers to where I can get help would be greatly appriciated.
